Reincarnation God Realm.
Huo Yuhao looked up, gazing at the chaotic sky covering the entire firmament. The Reincarnation Eye on his forehead slowly closed, concealing itself back beneath his skin.
"Parallel World... another me?"
His voice was calm, yet carried a hint of imperceptible complexity.
Having transmigrated over ten years ago, he relied on his foreknowledge and calculated every step, dodging the fate traps Tang San had meticulously laid, and carving out a path of his own.
He had originally thought that he was in the Douluo Continent from the original story, having merely altered its trajectory with the advantages of a transmigrator.
Yet, he hadn't expected that he wasn't in the same World at all.
No wonder, no wonder Tang San had never interfered with him.
No wonder those "destiny pulls" that should have appeared never descended.
So it turned out that from the very beginning, he was a player on a different chessboard, not a piece in that predetermined game.
"That is for the best."
The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth curled slightly upward, his gaze deepening.
"If I were in that World, trying to break free from the shackles would likely have taken much more effort. That scoundrel Tang San has been laying plans for ten thousand years; how could he easily allow anyone to get off the hook?"
Yet, as Huo Yuhao looked at the sky above, his expression couldn't help but turn grave.
He wasn't afraid of the comparison; after all, he knew very well what the Huo Yuhao of the other World was like—merely a marionette.
What he worried about was that after the comparison ended and the two Worlds merged, there would be a gap in high-end combat power between their side and the Douluo God Realm.
After all, that God Realm had been formed for countless years, with hundreds of Divinities (though he didn't actually know the count), and even five God Kings.
Fortunately, according to the original plot, the Good God King and Evil God King of the Douluo God Realm had reincarnated, and the two who replaced them were Ji Dong and Lie Yan. Although they held the God Positions, they lacked the corresponding strength.
But even so, the gap between their two Worlds remained vast, with too great a disparity in top-tier combat power.
Excluding the Divinities, when comparing the strength of the two Douluo Continents, Huo Yuhao still had a great deal of confidence.
After the Sun Moon Empire unified the entire Douluo Planet, they fully promoted the coverage of spirit tools. The public acceptance was extremely high, and research had never ceased. Technology was changing with each passing day, improving daily.
spirit tool technology had already been fully deployed in the military, making the strength of the entire Douluo Continent quite formidable. Moreover, Huo Yuhao had made space exploration the national policy for the next hundred years.
He just hadn't expected the comparison screen to appear, especially right when he had just broken through to the God King realm.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao moved slightly and vanished from his spot, arriving at the Star Observation Platform where Electrolux and the others were located.
...
On the Star Observation Platform, five figures turned around in unison.
"Disciple greets Teacher."
Huo Yuhao first bowed deeply to Electrolux. When he straightened up, his gaze swept across the faces of his four wives, giving them a gentle look that said, "Stay calm."
A smile appeared on Gu Yuena's pale face, Wang Qiuer's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, a trace of relief flashed in Snow Empress's ice-blue eyes, and the clothes Ju Zi had been clutching tightly finally loosened.
Electrolux looked Huo Yuhao up and down, his aged face full of gratification.
"Not bad, Yuhao."
He nodded, his tone filled with genuine admiration: "The God King realm, the balance of life and death, the Samsara Law—you have walked further than this teacher expected."
Pausing for a moment, he raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze toward the screen in mid-air, his tone turning grave: "Yuhao, the parallel World this screen speaks of, that refers to the experiences you once told me about, right?"
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly: "Teacher has keen eyes. That is correct."
Electrolux sighed softly, a complex look flashing in his grey-white eyes: "When you convinced me with those 'common sense' facts back then, I even suspected whether you had been possessed by some evil spirit. Now it seems, I was overthinking it."
He paused, his tone filled with a bit more emotion: "I wonder if the me in that other World also met the you of that other World?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said softly: "He did, but... the disciple in that World likely couldn't help Teacher recover as quickly."
Upon hearing this, Electrolux raised an eyebrow, then laughed heartily: "That is his loss!"
After laughing, he said seriously: "Since this screen has appeared, there must be a reason. With the two Worlds merging, a war of gods is inevitable. Yuhao, what do you need this teacher to do?"
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and solemnly bowed: "Disciple implores Teacher to formally accept the God Position of Death."
"Disciple knows this request is somewhat presumptuous, but with the fusion of the two Worlds imminent, the gap in high-end combat power is vast. If Teacher is willing to accept the God Position and attain the realm of a half-step God King, I will have more confidence on my side."
"As for the stabilization of the God Position and the comprehension of the laws, I am willing to assist with the Samsara Law."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply.
Electrolux was stunned, then shook his head and laughed: "You child..."
He raised his hand to gesture for him to rise, his tone carrying a touch of helplessness, but more of it was gratification: "What reason do I, this old bag of bones, have to refuse? When I took you as my disciple, I was merely a wisp of a remnant soul, barely able to protect myself. Now, to be able to see you achieve the God King realm with my own eyes is already a tremendous blessing."
"Since you need this old bag of bones to contribute, then I shall not decline."
As he spoke, he tapped his staff lightly, and the aura around him began to surge: "The God Position of Death... it is worthy of my life."
Huo Yuhao was overjoyed and bowed again: "Thank you, Teacher, for fulfilling this!"
Electrolux waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over Gu Yuena and the others, a teasing smile appearing on his lips: "Alright, no need for more formalities. I am going into seclusion now, striving to stabilize the God Position as soon as possible. You young people... have a good talk."
After speaking, he didn't wait for Huo Yuhao to react; his figure had already soared into the air, flying toward the core area of the Undead clan.
From mid-air, his hearty laughter echoed: "Hahaha... I, too, shall possess a God Position of my own! That child Yuhao, he has a heart!"
Huo Yuhao watched his teacher's back, the corners of his mouth unable to resist curling upward slightly.
It wasn't until that grey figure disappeared that he withdrew his gaze and turned to face his four wives.
His smile faded, replaced by deep guilt and heartache.
He stepped forward and gently held Gu Yuena's hand.
Those hands, originally as warm and smooth as jade, were now so cold it was alarming.
"Nana..."
Huo Yuhao had just spoken when Gu Yuena shook her head, a gentle smile appearing on her pale face: "No need to say more. You being able to return is more important than anything else."
Her voice was very soft, yet carried an unquestionable firmness.
Huo Yuhao's Adam's apple bobbed; a thousand words were stuck in his chest, eventually turning into nothing but a soft sigh.
He held Gu Yuena's hand tighter, as if trying to pass his own warmth to her.
Then, he turned to Wang Qiuer.
This Golden Dragon Queen, currently leaning beside Gu Yuena, had eyes filled with stubbornness and... grievance? Huo Yuhao almost thought he had misseen.
"Qiuer..."
"Hmph!"
Wang Qiuer turned her head away, her voice hoarse but feigning toughness: "I only lent you a bit of power; no need to look at me like that. Just remember to pay me back double, that's all."
Huo Yuhao chuckled, released Gu Yuena's hand, stepped forward, and gently pulled Wang Qiuer into his embrace.
Wang Qiuer stiffened, then began to tremble slightly.
She raised her hand to push him away, but the moment she touched his chest, she changed the push into a grab, clutching his clothes tightly.
"...Bastard."
Her voice was muffled, carrying a tremor that had been suppressed for a long time.
"If you dare to do this again next time... I will... I will..."
"Then what?"
Huo Yuhao asked in a low voice.
Wang Qiuer was silent for a moment, then muttered: "I will dissipate my soul along with you. Let's see if you dare to do it again in your next life."
Huo Yuhao's heart trembled; his arms tightened, pulling her even closer.
After a long while, he gently released her and turned to face Snow Empress.
This former Queen of the Far North stood quietly to the side, her ice-blue eyes filled with tenderness and heartache.
She did not speak, only looking at him quietly.
Huo Yuhao walked up and gently stroked her cold cheek.
"Xue'er."
Snow Empress tilted her head slightly, pressing her face into his palm, and said softly: "It's good that you're back."
Those simple four words caused a wave of warmth to surge in Huo Yuhao's heart.
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Finally, he turned to Ju Zi.
This Empress Dowager of the Empire had slightly reddened eyes, but she held back her tears.
Seeing Huo Yuhao look over, she forced a smile: "Husband..."
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and gently pulled her into his embrace.
Ju Zi trembled all over, then hugged him back tightly, burying her face in his chest, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"It's alright now." Huo Yuhao gently patted her back, "I'm back."
After a long while, Nana finally raised her head. Her eyes were rimmed with red, but she had already stabilized her emotions.
She took a deep breath, turned her gaze toward the screen in the sky, and said in a heavy voice:
"Husband, this screen... what are your plans?"
With one sentence, everyone's attention was pulled back to reality.
Huo Yuhao let go of Nana and looked up at the chaotic screen covering the firmament, his eyes deepening.
"Plans..."
He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking:
"We cannot interfere with the screen's comparison, nor do we need to. The experiences of the other World will serve perfectly to let the myriad realms see what it means to have an 'arranged fate'."
"But after the comparison ends, the fusion of the two Worlds is inevitable. At that time..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over his four wives:
"We and the Douluo God Realm will surely have a battle."
Gu Yuena frowned slightly. "Then the gap in high-level combat power..."
"I know."
Huo Yuhao nodded, his expression calm.
"Therefore, we need time."
He turned his gaze toward the lower realm, looking through layers of void at that azure planet:
"The rules didn't explicitly state how long the screen comparison will last, but at the shortest, it will be several months; at the longest, perhaps several years. We must make good use of this time!"
"Na'er, Qiuer, I will use the Samsara Law to help you recover the origin energy you've lost as quickly as possible."
"Xue'er, your cultivation is still shallow. During this time, practice with peace of mind and don't be impetuous. The path of Ice and Snow is one of accumulating strength to break through later."
"Nana..."
He looked at Nana, his gaze gentle.
"Though your cultivation is the weakest, your wisdom is our greatest treasure. I need you to do three things for me."
Nana's expression turned solemn. "Husband, please speak."
"First, accelerate the Battle Armor Project. Use the power of the entire nation to develop God-grade Battle Armor. This is the key for the top experts of our Douluo Continent to deal with ordinary Divinities!"
"Second, mobilize all intelligence forces to closely monitor any anomalies that may appear in the lower realm (Douluo Continent). The appearance of the screen might trigger unexpected changes!"
Huo Yuhao paused and continued:
"Third, at all costs, develop more God-grade spirit tools. If necessary, you can ask the Spirit Beast clan for help!"
Hearing this, Nana was silent for a moment before nodding solemnly. "I understand!"
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena again and said in a deep voice, "After breaking through to the God King realm, I have preliminarily mastered Life and Death Samsara. I will accelerate the resurrection of those Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan who died in the past. I'll strive to resurrect one or two Dragon Kings; at that time, I'll need you, Na'er, to step forward!"
"Na'er, you can also take this time to recover your origin. I will assist you with the Samsara Law!"
"As for Di Tian and the others, now that the God Realm is newly established, as long as they pass their Heavenly Tribulations, they can ascend!"
Gu Yuena nodded. "Good!"
After instructing Nana and Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Qiuer and continued:
"Qiuer, your cultivation has also reached a critical moment. I will fully assist you in breaking through to the God Position!"
"Hmph!" Wang Qiuer raised her eyebrows and lifted her head. "Just a God Position? There's no pressure for this lady. You should focus on stabilizing your own cultivation first!"
Huo Yuhao just smiled upon hearing this. He knew Wang Qiuer's'sharp tongue but soft heart' personality all too well.
Wang Qiuer was simply worried that he had just broken through and had no time to stabilize his realm.
Finally, Huo Yuhao looked at the Snow Empress and said softly, "Xue'er, your cultivation has also reached a critical moment. In the coming days, just practice together with me!"
"I have gained some insights into the Laws of Ice and Snow within the River of Time. I can pass them on to you!"
The Snow Empress smiled slightly and said, "Good!"
...
Meanwhile, in the Black World, the Douluo God Realm.
Outside the Sea God Temple, Tang San stood by the edge of the sea of clouds with his hands behind his back, the Sea God Trident floating quietly beside him.
He wore the blue-gold Sea God Divine Garb, his long hair fluttering gently in the wind, while his eyes pierced through layers of void to stare intently at the lower realm.
The lower realm, Shrek Academy.
By the shores of the Sea God Lake, lights were bright and the crowds were bustling.
At this moment, it was the Sea God Fate Matchmaking Assembly of Shrek Academy's Inner Court on the Douluo Continent.
According to his plan, this was where Huo Yuhao would reunite with his daughter Tang Wutong and then be indirectly controlled by him.
His next plan was to wait for Huo Yuhao to break through to the Yin-Yang Complementary Twin Soul Cores, then give half of Huo Yuhao's soul core to Tang Wutong, so that Tang Wutong would have no more bottlenecks in her cultivation.
And finally, he would have Huo Yuhao inherit Rong Nianbing's God Position as the God of Emotions.
In this way, the Child of Destiny born from ten thousand years of the Douluo Continent's nurturing could be firmly controlled by him. The Heavenly Dao of the Douluo Continent would have no power to resist, eventually becoming the back garden of his Tang Clan.
"Perfect!"
Tang San let out a light breath, the smile at the corners of his lips deepening.
However, at this very moment!
BOOM!!!
Without any warning, a screen of indescribable vastness, exuding a powerful aura of the Heavenly Dao, suddenly descended.
It ignored all laws and defenses of the God Realm, directly covering the entire sky!
The chaotic background, the flowing light and shadows, and that cold, absolute, and unquestionable grand will—
[Detected the existence of two identical parallel Worlds. To perform optimization, a comparison between the two Worlds is now being conducted. The World that ultimately wins the comparison will receive a comprehensive 10% buff.]
[After the comparison ends, the two Worlds will merge with each other. At that time, whichever World's comparison subject is stronger will gain the advantage in the fusion.]
[Now, beginning the selection of comparison subjects.]
[Selection of comparison subjects complete!]
[Left Screen: Black World—The Child of Destiny nurtured for ten thousand years by the Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao]
[Age: Twenty-two years old]
[Realm: Eight-ring Spirit Douluo]
[Goal: Resurrect Wang Dong]
[Right Screen: White World—The Child of Destiny nurtured for ten thousand years by the Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao]
[Age: Twenty-two years old]
[Realm: Samsara God King]
[Goal: Resist unknown arrangements, become the strongest in the World, let the people of his World live in peace and prosperity, and make his family and teachers stronger.]
[Next, the comparison begins.]
Seeing this unknown screen, the smile on Tang San's face instantly froze!
He suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking!
"What?!"
The Sea God Trident suddenly erupted with a blinding blue light. Tang San's God King-level divine force burst forth, turning into a pillar of light that reached the heavens and earth, charging straight toward the screen.
However—when that pillar of light touched the screen, it actually reflected back, crashing down toward Tang San.
Because the time was too short and the situation too sudden, and Tang San had not fought for many years, this attack caught him off guard. He could only hastily deploy defensive skills, but he was still hit, causing his aura to fluctuate unsteadily.
[To dare to question the will of the Universe's Heavenly Dao, a small punishment is given. I hope you take this as a warning!]
"Cough, cough!"
After hearing the voice from the screen, Tang San's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"With my current cultivation, I actually can't shake this screen in the slightest? Is this so-called parallel World actually real?"
"My plan is at a critical moment. Huo Yuhao is about to reunite with Wutong, and then I can completely control him. How could such a screen suddenly appear? And it's comparing two Huo Yuhaos!"
"The other Huo Yuhao is actually already at the God King realm? How is that possible?"
"How difficult is the God King realm? With so many first-class divinities in the Douluo God Realm, no one has been able to break through to God King. How could the Huo Yuhao of the other World break through at twenty-two?"
"Even when I was twenty-two..."
"No matter what, I cannot give up on Huo Yuhao. That concerns the future of my Tang Clan's descendants!"
"..."
Just as Tang San's face was filled with anger, a voice full of destructive aura rang in his ears:
"Asura, come to the God Realm Committee immediately!"
Tang San was very familiar with this voice. It was the God of Destruction, who competed with him for control of the God Realm, and his strength was also extremely powerful.
As for calling him to the God Realm Committee, it was probably because of the appearance of this screen!
Hearing this voice, Tang San's angry expression was immediately suppressed. With a flash of his body, he disappeared from the spot.
